Time for a face mask

There comes a point when you have to take a stand against the explosion of horridness on your chin and blast it away with some good old blue corn scrub … and since this last 30 Tiny Moments shot includes me, I shall take this opportunity to say that the 7 Days self-portrait project will [...]
